I attended school at The Art Institute of Portland and graduated with a BFA in Photography and Design. As I went through school perfecting my photography I was drawn into the world of illustration and design. In 2009 while living in downtown Portland I discovered the world of street art and became passionate about getting involved and applying the hours of drawing I was doing to making stickers. At the beginning, I simply enjoyed seeing my little character drawings around the city alongside other artists I admired. Then, the more I put up stickers, I slowly began to gather a following of my own and that's when it really became something I strived to keep doing. I started reaching out to other artists in the area to collaborate and work with. Through that I made a great group of artist friends and we constantly have a blast working hard together to put on shows and get our art out to the people that love it.

In 2014 my lady and I decided to pack our bags and move to Los Angeles to learn and grow as artists in a new environment. That place is so wild and inspiring. We both had a great time and took a lot out of our experiences. In our recent return to Portland, we couldn't be happier to apply our new skills into the community we are both so attached to.

I continue to pursue my love of illustration and design while exploring other creative outlets such as bookmaking, block printing, hand lettering, crafting leather goods,wood working, and rebuilding bicycles.
